As we prepare to host Rev. Will Graham's Celebration of Hope at Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, March 21 & 22, 2026, I wanted to share my photos from his grandfather, Rev. Billy Graham's last crusade, twenty-one years ago.
To have been present for Rev. Billy Graham's last crusade, the Greater New York Crusade at Flushing Meadows Park in the summer of 2005, was one of the greatest assignments of my career. Witnessing hundreds of thousands of people come to see and hear Rev. Graham preach was a very personal experience. Held June 24-26, 2005, over 242,000 people from across the world were in attendance. It was truly an amazing experience. The following month, I would travel to Honduras on a mission trip with First Baptist Church of Gulfport and two months later, Hurricane Katrina would deliver an opportunity for Christians to be disciples of Jesus Christ and to live in faith on a level many had never previously experienced. I feel that in some ways, being present for this historic crusade with Rev. Billy Graham helped prepare me for that storm. Photos by James Edward Bates.
